I'm trying to run RSelenium using the rsDriver function, but when I run
rD <- rsDriver()
I get a message telling me I need a newer version of Chrome:

Selenium message:session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 74
(Driver info: chromedriver=74.0.3729.6 (255758eccf3d244491b8a1317aa76e1ce10d57e9-refs/branch-heads/3729@{#29}),platform=Mac OS X 10.14.3 x86_64)
Could not open chrome browser.
Client error message:
Summary: SessionNotCreatedException
Detail: A new session could not be created.
Further Details: run errorDetails method
Check server log for further details.
The error message appears to say that I need Chrome version 74.0.3729.6, but when I look in Chrome's settings, it tells me that I'm running the latest stable version (73.0.3683.75). Upon further googling, 74.0.3729.6 is a pre-release dev version of Chrome: do I need to install this in order to use ChromeDriver with RSelenium?
I'm not wedded to the idea of using Chrome, but I haven't been able to get rsDriver to use Firefox: when I specify browser = "firefox", rsDriver gives me the same error message about ChromeDriver not supporting my version of Chrome.
My session info is:

Selenium message:session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 74
(Driver info: chromedriver=74.0.3729.6 (255758eccf3d244491b8a1317aa76e1ce10d57e9-refs/branch-heads/3729@{#29}),platform=Mac OS X 10.14.3 x86_64)
...implies that the ChromeDriver expects the Chrome Browser version to be 74.
Your main issue is the incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using as follows:
- You are using chromedriver=74.0.3729.6
- Release Notes of chromedriver=74.0.3729.6 clearly mentions the following :
Supports Chrome v74
- You are using the currently released chrome=73.0
So there is a clear mismatch between the ChromeDriver v74.0.3729.6 and the Chrome Browser v73.0
Solution
- Downgrade ChromeDriver to ChromeDriver v73.0.3683.68 level.
- Keep Chrome version at Chrome v73 level. (as per ChromeDriver v73.0.3683.68 release notes)
- Clean your Project Workspace through your IDE and Rebuild your project with required dependencies only.
- If your base Web Client version is too old, then uninstall it and install a recent GA and released version of Web Client.
- Execute your
@Test. - Always invoke
driver.quit()withintearDown(){}method to close & destroy the WebDriver and Web Client instances gracefully.
Updating the Google Chrome version to 74 worked for me.
Steps: 1. Go to Help -> About Google Chrome -> Chrome will automatically look for updates(update Chrome to the latest version)
I encountered the same issue today and found this post and others from Google. I think I may have a more direct solution as a modification of your code. The previous answer is correct in identifying the mismatch in versions.
I tried the proposed solutions to no avail. I found that the versions were correct on my computer. However, this mismatch error was not resulting from the actual versions installed on the computer, but rather the RSelenium code is seeking the "latest" version of Chrome/ChromeDriver by default argument. See ?rsDriver() help page for the arguments.
If you run the code binman::list_versions("chromedriver") as specified in the help documentation, then you can identify the versions of compatible with the function. In my case, I was able to use the following code to establish a connection.
driver <- rsDriver(browser=c("chrome"), chromever="73.0.3683.68", extraCapabilities = eCaps)
You should be able to specify your version of Chrome with the chromever= argument. I had to use the closest version, though (my chrome version was "73.0.3683.75").
Hope this helps!
I dealed with this issue today and upgrading my webdrivermanger solved it for me (My previous version was 3.0.0):
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>3.3.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
I just ran into the same kind of error using RSelenium::rsDriver()'s default chromever = "latest" setting which resulted in the failed attempt to combine chromedriver 75.0.3770.8 with latest google-chrome-stable 74.0.3729.157:
session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 75
Since this obviously seems to be a recurring and pretty annoying issue, I have come up with the following workaround to always use the latest compatible ChromeDriver version:
rD <- RSelenium::rsDriver(browser = "chrome",
chromever =
system2(command = "google-chrome-stable",
args = "--version",
stdout = TRUE,
stderr = TRUE) %>%
stringr::str_extract(pattern = "(?<=Chrome )\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\.") %>%
magrittr::extract(!is.na(.)) %>%
stringr::str_replace_all(pattern = "\\.",
replacement = "\\\\.") %>%
paste0("^", .) %>%
stringr::str_subset(string =
binman::list_versions(appname = "chromedriver") %>%
dplyr::last()) %>%
as.numeric_version() %>%
max() %>%
as.character())
The above code is only tested under Linux and makes use of some tidyverse packages (install them beforehand or rewrite it in base R). For other operating systems you might have to adapt it a bit, particularly replace command = "google-chrome-stable" with the system-specific command to launch Google Chrome:
On macOS it should be enough to replace
command = "google-chrome-stable"withcommand = "/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"(untested).On Windows a plattform-specific bug prevents us from calling the Google Chrome binary directly to get its version number. Instead do the following:
rD <- RSelenium::rsDriver(browser = "chrome", chromever = system2(command = "wmic", args = 'datafile where name="C:\\\\Program Files (x86)\\\\Google\\\\Chrome\\\\Application\\\\chrome.exe" get Version /value', stdout = TRUE, stderr = TRUE) %>% stringr::str_extract(pattern = "(?<=Version=)\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\.") %>% magrittr::extract(!is.na(.)) %>% stringr::str_replace_all(pattern = "\\.", replacement = "\\\\.") %>% paste0("^", .) %>% stringr::str_subset(string = binman::list_versions(appname = "chromedriver") %>% dplyr::last()) %>% as.numeric_version() %>% max() %>% as.character())
Basically, the code just ensures the latest ChromeDriver version matching the major-minor-patch version number of the system's stable Google Chrome browser is passed as chromever argument. This procedure should adhere to the official ChromeDriver versioning scheme. Quote:
- ChromeDriver uses the same version number scheme as Chrome (...)
- Each version of ChromeDriver supports Chrome with matching major, minor, and build version numbers. For example, ChromeDriver 73.0.3683.20 supports all Chrome versions that start with 73.0.3683.
I had the same issue in Travis and solved by adding:
addons:
chrome: stable
to my .travis.yml file.
I was really struggling with this mismatch between ChromeDriver v74.0.3729.6 and the Chrome Browser v73.0. I finally found a way to get ChromeDriver to an earlier version,
In Chrome > About Google Chrome, copy the the version number, except for the last group. For instance, 72.0.3626.
Paste that version at the end of this url and visit it. It will come back with a version, which you should copy. https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_
Back in the command line, run
bundle exec chromedriver-update <copied version>
This solution worked for me
- Make sure you're using R 3.5.3 or greater
driver <- rsDriver(browser=c("chrome"), chromever="73.0.3683.68")
I got the same error when I am using robot framework (Selenium based framework) in a Docker instance. The reason was docker was using cached google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb for Chrome but it has installed latest chrome driver which was a later version.
Then I used below command and error resolved.
docker-compose build --no-cache
Hope this helps someone.
I was facing the same error:
session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 75
...
Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver
We are running the tests from a computer that has no real UI, so I had to work via a command line (CLI).
I started by detecting the current version of Chrome that was installed on the Linux computer:
$> google-chrome --version
And got this response:
Google Chrome 74.0.3729.169
So then I updated the Chrome version like that:
$> sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
And after checking again the version I got this:
Google Chrome 75.0.3770.100
Then the Selenium tests were able to run smoothly.
It is useful for Linux people. My problem was trivial, I used chromium-browser. I installed chrome and all problems were resolved. It could work with chromium but with extra actions. I did not receive a success. I could set a need driver version to protractor configuration. It used the latest. I needed a downgrade.
I have almost the same problems like this, the problems is come inside the pipeline when running my selenium test that need chromedriver package to running the e2e test.
The problems is just because in the pipeline (in my case) is having the chrome version 73, and my chromedriver package is installed on version 74.
Finally there are two simple solutions:
- Downgrade your chrome
Downgrade your chromedriver package version. in my case, cause i running inside the pipeline i need to install chromedriver before running the selenium test like displayed below.
- script: npm install chromedriver@73.0.0 --chromedriver-force-download displayName: 'Install Chrome'
For MacOS chromedriver upgrade did the trick:
brew cask upgrade chromedriver
There's no need to downgrade Chrome anymore, when you get this error only means it's time to run webdriver-manager update again
